Awesome Speakers!!

We all know everyone hears music different and everyone listens to different types of music. That said. With these speakers it simply does not matter!! These are the most balanced speakers for the price I've ever heard in my life! and trust me I've been listening to music since the 60's The highs,mids and lows are all great on these speakers! I have 6 of these amped at 100 watts to each channel and they hit hard! No sub necessary. Can't wait to add the CS693 6 X 9's to my system! Most imppressive is the clarity and the bass on these speakers! I've never heard 6.5's hit like these. Kicker got it right this time. If you are on the fence and don't have a thousand dollars to spend on speakers. Get these! You won't be dissapointed!

Kicker 6.5 CS Model

Aloha! After purchasing 2pairs of the CS model speakers, I was amazed by the clarity and punch these simple speakers add to my Acura TSX. Replaced the 4 door speakers without an amplifier and it still slams. Best bang for the buck. Good deal and good quality.

Kicker CS65 Speakers

I have 4 of these speakers and all i have to say is WOW! I These speakers pack a punch for there price for sure if not even better. I tested about 20 different speakers at my local Bransmart and IMO these sounded the best to me. Have them hooked up in my house with Sony-MEXN5000BT car stereo with them put in sealed enclosures and the sound of these are crisp and clean. Can get very loud also. Has a very thick deep sound when you add some slight bass in them. Highly recommend these to anybody else.

Listen all day

Smooth and well balanced have been mentioned in the other reviews and I have to agree. I can play them loud or soft and hear the details of the music and they just don't let me down. I finally finished my 2013 Optima with these in the rear doors and together with the Kickers in the dash, the front doors and now these, they create a really nice sound stage that is tough to make in a car. They don't go real low but they excel in the mid-bass range and create a nice tight thump with no sloppiness. Impressive highs too that are never harsh. Great crossover point for seamless sound. Gotta get some.

Awesome!

These were purchased as a replacement for my front door speakers in my Accord. They sound excellent! They set up a great stereo image, have great presence, are deep, crisp and can handle way more than my Kenwood head unit can deliver! This was a major upgrade! With a pair of Kicker 6x9's on the rear deck......you would swear I had a nice amp driving them! Trust me....you cannot go wrong with these solid speakers.

nice speakers

Nice speakers for your money I bought 2 sets and I'm happy with the sound definitely not the best but they do their job

Excellent product

High quality and crisp sound. I would highly recommend these. They come with small pre-crimped and spliced wires to attach to the speakers and additional wire which is great.

super upgrade!

speaakers were shipped promptly, packaged well and in excellent condition. Put them in the front doors of a 98 tahoe 2 door. I never expected them to sound so great. They can handle a lot of power and can go very loud without distortion. They even provide a nice little thump. very clean sound. I am very impressed with kicker quality and sonic electronix again. We will see how they stand up over itme.

Best Upgraded Series Yet

I own the kicker ds series, and the cs has to be the best series upgraded series I have ever owned. Excellent sound quality and upgraded power handling makes for an exceptional listening experience. Kicker DS was great but the CS can not be described in words. Great job SOnicElectronix you have another overly satisfied customer!

Great speakers!

These are some good quality speakers, espessially for the price, I would recommend

Great buy!!

These speakers play clear and loud they helped achieve the balance between bass and voice in my 900watt system. Very happy and so far they been holding up just fine I have 6 of these plus a kicker 12" sub and it harmonizes perfectly.

Great Speakers and Price

Put these speakers in the uppers and lowers on my Street Glide. Plenty beefy, handles the power from the amp well. Good highs, good bass. No complaints

great value

great value sound and quality,a name well respected and deserved

Great Value!!

I would recommend this product because it great quality music sound amazing they are perfect for anybody who wants to get better sound quality of their original system.

great

This work great should put more power on them I just hooked up 400 watt hifonics amp to them

Can ya hear me now?

Let me start by saying I wasn't a kicker fan. Wasn't being the key word. I have these in the fairing of a 2013 Harley limited powered by a Kenwood 400 watt marine class d amp. With kicker cs 5.25 in the rear tour pack pods. I used sound damper in the fairing to tighten things up,and used poly fill in the rear pods.This system ROCKS!!!! It has good mid bass, the highs are great and they will not distourt until your ears can't handle it no longer. I'm versitle in my music and will say if your looking for ground pounding bass buy a sub. I am using the factory h\u and could only imagine what it would sound like with an after market h/u. You will not find a better speaker in this price range. For around $270 I have a system I can hear loud and clear at 65+ mph

Nice!!

I just replaced a set of Kenwood 80 watt 6X8 with these Kickers. The sound difference is so drastic I had to adjust the amp for these Kickers. I would recomend these if you want a more clear sounding stereo. I really like the look and feel of these Kicker speakers. Its a shame their behind a door panel. Thanks Sonic for fast shipping.

Kicker 40CS654

Great sound for a great price, I recommend them for stock replacements

Exceeds price point

I don't think I have ever gone wrong with Kickers, or they have ever done me wrong. Great sound. Good mid bass. Have a set of 4 in a Fiesta ST and they give powerful full sound.

great sound

These speakers replaced a set of infinity and a set of fosgates. They are definitely an upgrade. I highly recommend them.

Great speakers

Great set of speakers with great sound! Even without an amp! Easy install on my F150

NICE !!!!!

Nice sound and clear For these speakers the sound is very strong

As Expected!

these kickers made a huge difference in my 2015 Mazda. I changed the front door speakers. as the sound would sound all over the car with stock audio , with these you can hear in just the front. Will be purchasing more for rear doors. Awesome !

Great speaker

I am very happy with these speakers. They sound great and have a shallow mounting depth. The tweeter is recessed so it does not protrude past the woofer surround, which is great when you are placing them behind the stock grill in a car. Speakers should be heard, not seen. If you want great sound while being able to easily place the speakers in the stock location and out of sight, then these are great. I would buy them again.

sweet

Good mild bass clarity is awesome good buy for the price cant go wrong with kicker

Clear, punchy and they make a statement!

Very musical and add a new life to my sound system! They punch, they sing and they can crank out some volume! Just make sure u install something to prevent rattling because these Kickers can really get down, even with just a good aftermarket stereo! Highly recommended!

Great door speaker upgrade.

Bought these to replace some Polk Audios that were installed by the previous owner, for both improved sound and better power handling, from the new Kicker Amp. its only been a few weeks so far, but they sound great and are plenty loud, without fear of blowing them.

Nice upgrade

I had installed 2 sets of these in my 04 Avalanche and 1 set in a co-workers 04 gmc1500 with kicker CS 4x6 in rear door and they really sound good. If your looking to upgrade the stock speakers you cant go wrong with the CS line from Kicker.

Great Speakers and great price!

I have 4 of these installed in my truck and I could not be happier. They lack on bass bu they are great for mids and highs. They are built very well and extremely simple to hook up. Overall I would definitely buy these again. They are quality speakers and well priced.

Great Speakers

I like these speakers, Good sound and nice base. Anybody thinking of getting these should get them.

By Godfrey on September 21, 2015 Verified purchase

Worth The Buy

I've had these speakers for over 20 days, they are great replacements to my factory BMW speakers that were "sabotaged."

Nice sound

I am not a pro when it comes to speakers. But these are a great sounding speaker for my JK. Nice clean sound, not too difficult to install. Only downfall is having to shave off some of the edge of the bracket because it wouldn't fit evenly.

Great price and great sound

easily replaced the OEM speakers in my trailblazer doors.
No other part needed. just pulled the old ones and put these in.
They sound great and I can turn them up loud with Kicker confidence

You be the judge

I have a 2002 BMW 325i. All the speakers (5 1/2s) were blown prior to purchase. Original equipment was "eh" on my list. I wanted less expensive but decent quality speakers with decent sound. I wanted some bass as well as sound in my vehicle period. I was told Kicker was not that great blah blah blah buy a few stereo shop guys trying to get me to buy otherwise. I chose these because I've heard kicker in other vehicles and I wanted to judge for myself.

Purchased these for a decent price and he shopping was fast and packaged well. Sonic electronic is a great company. That's my opinion.

After installation I have them a couple days of light playing to break them in and then I cranked up the bass (OEM head unit from BMW) and increased the volume. Well I was impressed. They handled bass farely well (Not a subwoofer). They did what most infinity, Bose systems would do given only having two speakers working in the rear deck of the vehicle. Of course if pushed too hard with the wrong/right type of music they will sound a little distorted. AGAIN, they are not subwoofers.

I eventually teamed these up with a set of Cadence 3 way component set for the front and the sound came more to life. All of it still running off the factory head unit and amp in the rear panel. New head unit on the way along with amps and subs install will make a great system.

I would recommend these to the novice to intermediate listeners. If you are into competition then you won't care for these anyway. For the price point, these Kickers do an excellent job

GREAT SPEAKERS

I PUT THESE KICKERS SPEAKERS IN PORTED BAZOOKA BOXES IN MY SINGLE CAB FORD RANGER, POWER THEM WITH A MEMPHIS AMPLIFIER 200.4. . THEY SOUND AMAZING IN BAZOOKA PEOPLE THINK I HAVE A SUBWOOFER BUT I DONT HAVE ONE .THEY HANDLE BASS WITH NO DISTORTION AND THE HIGHS ARE EXCELENT. HIGHLY RECOMEND

These speakers rock!

I upgraded my audio system in my truck. Bought some Kenwood speakers and wasn't to impressed with them. Bought these kickers and they rock! Should have bought them in the first place!

@calualu music

Good product convenient and works well calualu youtube would recommend

By Cody on July 27, 2022 Verified purchase

Not bad for price.

If you’re on a budget. They work pretty good, nothing crazy but also not some trash. Had em over a year when I sold the truck and still sounded just as good as the day I bought em.

By Devin on March 30, 2022 Verified purchase

very dissapointed

I hoped to make my system sound better ,had 1 blown speaker so i decided to do all the speakers fresh, hate to say my factory speakers sounded better .these i have almost no bass even when i turn it almost all the way up. cant go back now had to basically destroy factory to get them out of housing.

WOW....VERY IMPRESSED

I bought & installed these after reviewing & listening to (what seemed like hundreds of other)speakers about (2) months ago. I have paired them with some kicker 6x9's (alpine x-a70 amp) in the rear, & some 12" subs (alpine mvr-500), in the trunk....& my God the whole thang in one word.....THUMPS! Kicker has done an AMAZING job....once again Sonic you have made this customer SATISFIED. (even had the nerve to arrive early)

Excellent speakers

I bought this speakers to replace my 4x6s I had on my cavalier ‘03 and they sound awesome now I have better and more clear sound on my ride.

( ?° ?? ?°)

The speakers are great, pros: ( ?° ?? ?°) cons: minor buzz/high pitched sound if you listen real close, maybe its just me when im using the aux cord, not sure. In the process of Installing an amp to get the full potential out of 'em.

By REGULAR SHOWS ENDING WAS GREAT on February 5, 2017 Verified purchase

Sound amazing.

These speakers sound great. They don't have a lot of bass but I don't have a lot of power going to it. So with the full 300w it would have good bass. But otherwise they sound great.

can handle amp!

I have these in my Santa Fe hooke up to a 4ch amp getting around 200w EACH and they havent blown, distorted or clipped. Awesome speakers

Replaced speakers

The speakers were replacement for 1994 set that had failed. They arrived quickly and packaging was great. The wiring was different than mine so had to fuss around whit that. I plan on ordering a second set as all in the vehicle will need to be replaced.

kicker prevails once again

nice sound tight bass
great customer service and shipping
awesome price

Great Purchase

They are really great speakers. Easy to install, not easy to access but that is my car. Great sound at a relatively cheap price.

These kickers kick a$$...

I got these for my 05 Honda Element and they fit like a glove. According to Crutchfield I was supposed to have to cut on the area around the speaker insert to accommodate them, but nope. Easiest install ever. I can't say enough good things about these speakers. Nice highs, even midst and suitable bass...awesome!!

By Jay on March 24, 2016 Verified purchase

Good value and on time delivery

It he speakers I ordered were for my sons birthday present. I received exactly what I ordered in perfect condition and on time

Great Speaker

I reccomend these speakers to anyone. Obviously the price is great considering how much power these can take. I am actually running these just with the power from my pioneer head unit, and they sound amazing. You really get the most out of them with an amp though. There is little to no bass, but I'm running two 10" subs under my back seat so everything equals out. Very impressed with this one Kicker.

By Zack on January 22, 2016 Verified purchase

Excellent bang for the buck

At the advice of two "sound snob" friends, we purchased 2 pairs of these speakers and were not disappointed. Without having to upgrade any other components, the clarity in all ranges has greatly improved!

I have a kicker sub in my gti. Door speakers went and figured I'd give them a shot. Bass is alot better and sound is more crisp. Price wasn't too crazy either. Would Def recommend.

These things rock you can not go wrong with these speakers especially hook up to amp

By Anonymous on July 31, 2018 Verified purchase

Decent.

If what you are looking for great, crystal clear sound at any volume in high, med, and low end then I would strongly recommend something besides these. They sound great with the volume low or medium but any "bumping" of your stereo and you will notice the distortion rise without doubt. They struggle severely with hitting high's at all and the med's are par at best.

Overall, if you want a decent speaker, these are for you. If you are more serious in the quality of your stereo system, do yourself a favor and fork out the extra cash for a different brand such as Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, or Rockford Fosgate.

Perfect Fit in my 2006 Sentra Rear Speakers , No modifications needed.

Does not sound good, might work better with a amp. Old factory speakers sounded better than these

By Jerry on April 14, 2017 Verified purchase

Great sound quality

My system is at it's beginning stages. These Kickers replaced my factory for speakers and are currently being powered by my Pioneer CD player. They keep up fairly well with my JL Audio 12w3v3 which is being pushed by 500 watts,but turned down at the deck. It will be much better when I get the second amp at wired in to lower them.

I would suggest these to friends and family.

By Elizabeth on March 26, 2017 Verified purchase

By Eric on December 28, 2016 Verified purchase

Great.

Ordered these along with the CS 6x9s, got em amped and they are very strong, high-quality speakers. To be honest you do not need a sub with these unless you're just like me, I like to have a little extra bass, but these hit nicely enough just amped up. Good, budgetable speakers, I will definitely upgrade to the higher level kickers next time to see if they out perform these.

Value replacements

My factory speakers were blown with the factory deck. Just needed something to replace the factory speakers that didn't break the bank and would serve my need for this older, commuter vehicle. Good sound, better than the stock speaker new. Value and quality, not high end, and not top of the line, but great minor upgrades/replacements over factory.

Sound quality was pretty good for what I payed for em and durability was absolutely astonishing for what I had payed for.

Definitely recommend, huge difference in clarity over the oem speakers, even able to “thump” pretty good with the wimpy 2-ohm factory stereo. Next upgrade is to a new receiver unit so can make these speakers boom at their full potential ????

Outstanding

I replaced my factory door speackers in my 08 chevy cobalt LT with a pair of these and WOW! Everyone knows the Kicker brand so i was worried on them having more bass then vocal. I wanted to be able to hear the words over bass. Wanted to be able to hear my music and not just feel it. I dont think i could have picked a better pair. Coming from factory to these is just mind blowing. you will love them.

I just got these speakers installed along with a Boss double din stero 80watts x4 and 15RMS x4 channel and let me tell you these speakers are loud!! Way better than my factory speakers. I currently only have kickers on the front doors, I will have to upgrade the rear deck in the future, once I do have them I will update also I am pretty sure I won't need a amp for these speakers because their just right!

I just had stock speakers in my car. I replaced them with these kicker speakers. I put them in the front and rear of my car and the difference was awesome. I would recommend to everyone. They sound great. Even my friends noticed the difference as soon as they heard them for the first time.

Great little speakers

These are loud and sound is clear with good range. Bass is always lacking on any of these size speakers,but my 6x9s in the rear handle that very well. I would recommend these to anyone and they are slim enough to fit in my chevelles kick panels.

From the build quality to the looks to the feel, and most importantly sound. This brand and these speakers are top notch! They have a nice heavy magnet, but are very low profile. If you replaced all 4 stock speakers to these, you don't need a sub, these provide nice accurate low end bass, just not a ton of it. I slapped these in my Honda Crv and couldn't be more pleased!
